Granny Garber Visits Oregon & OF COURSE ...

. . . it RAINS!! :-( But yet notice how the 7 day forecast preceeding her visit does not show one drop of the wet stuff in our area:

It didnt stop us from enjoying a nice visit with my mama. She rented a neat old farmhouse in the hawthorne district (I think that's what it's called) and we had a feast at my brother Ryan's work, a ultra cool southern style bistro. I tried for the 1st time: fried pickle, fried green tomato, banana foster pudding, & a hazelnut latte' martini. A new member to our family also joined us, Michelle, and she is beautiful inside & out. Following dinner Alan & I said our goodbyes to our 4 kids . . . they were having a sleepover with Grandma. Then the following day we had to pick them up at 3pm to rush Payton back up to the mountain to be to work by 4:30. It is sad to say goodbye to Grandma Lori but we are very grateful she was able to make the long drive up here. Perfect last summer memory....thanks Ma! P.S. She brought Nolan a super adorable "rocker/guitar" dress shirt for his birthday (he is opening the gift below) & he has already asked if he can wear it to his 1st day of school.
